@RyJuZo: Hi guys. How is the project going?
|
Well it's going very well...
I've almost finished the final tool needed, it's the Ultimate Screen 2 gfx designer !
some features:
- Full drawing freedom
- See through effect. So you can your previous drawings through your current one. Excellent for animations.
- Optimized for tablet style-drawing (our lead Artist JUlian uses this alot !)
- Tilemanagement, multiple banks of 32x24
- Modelmanagement (modelling the tiles to create tile animations)
- Generate screen 2 tile-gfx from any type of (PC)-graphics. Including animations
The last one also uses an advanced color-matching algorithm to map the colors of the bitmap gfx to the 16 msx-colors !
It works surprisingly well ...

JUlian (the main Artist) has already begun the game graphics with this tool...
renZO (the music composer) has already finished some tunes for the game...
And I (RYan, the lead programmer) am programming away....
so we're getting there...bit by bit....I think we'll finish the game way before the deadline...
